Field Notes

Description:

A young Cooper's Hawk, not injured at all. He did fly off after I walked up and petted his tail feathers.

Habitat:

Forest edge.

Notes:

This bird was completely uninjured and yet unafraid of people. He seemed very young and was quite interested in my neighbor's chicken pen (seen in the photos).
